Estatic Recommendation for Dermaestetic - My Ultherapy and Fillers Experience
I'm a 43 year old N American woman who has visited this clinic twice for skin laxity issues.
As much as I'd selfishly like to keep this place a hidden gem, they do stellar work and are highly capable while also being super kind and accomodating so I'm pleased to share my experience here for the benefit of other potential clients- domestic or international.
Overall, this clinic sets a standard of excellence in its modernity, cleanliness, communication and service. Sandra at Reception and everyone else I have interacted with have been helpful and welcoming, despite my limited Spanish proficiency. You can message through WhatsApp for questions and appointments - I used a simple translator app to WhatsApp in Spanish and they were very responsive. Once there, I was able to speak with with everyone in English; the Doctors I saw are fluent and the rest of the staff is at least stronger in English than I am in Spanish!
Last summer, I came while on vacation in Cartagena for a consultation and discussion on my goals, and I ultimately did ultherapy with Doctor Valeria. She, and the results, were nothing short of amazing! It took years off of my face, resulting in me not getting Botox the entire year (I previously did every 6 months). I mostly returned to Cartagena for another treatment (now a year later), though thoroughly enjoyed my time as it's a great city to visit.
Dra Valeria is thoughtful in her approach, has great bed side manner, and is very diligent. She is a young talent who is very invested in her continuing education in the field - I actually rescheduled my original trip dates as she was doing a training in another city. Ultherapy is uncomfortable, but she is very attentive to your reactions and frequently checks-in on your pain, and the Assistants support in pain management with strong numbing cream, distraction vibration and offering stress balls to squeeze. (I have a high pain tolerance and just used a topical numbing cream, so I can't speak to the injectable numbing agent that they offer). One thing about ultherapy is that improvement is gradual so you won't have the full sense of your results for at least a couple of months. I was shocked to see how much better my current "before" pics from this visit look compared to the ones I took before my first treatment, so I'm really excited to see how much improvement I'll see in my eyebrows and jawline from a second treatment.
This visit, I also did a filler of hyaloronic acid with biostimulators with Doctor Zuleima. The intention with this treatment was to supplement the ultherapy for immediate visible results with the hyaloronic filler, with additional collagen building to come from the biostimulating agent. I particularly appreciated Dra Zulemia's focus on aesthetic enhancement with injectibles rather than drastic change - my goal is subtle, natural looking results which is well aligned with their clinical philosophy. I asked about a number of possibilities I had researched and she patiently explained why she felt they would not be the best choices for me. So I feel confident on not being "oversold" nor ending up with an unnatural looking result. Dra Zulemia is also phenomenal with great technique, a deft hand for injections and keen eye. She explained what was happening as she went and frequently checked in on my pain, though it was minimal and just limited to the insertion of the cannula. Dra Zulemia was trained in Dermatology and noticed a mole on my leg as she was working - she followed up with an instrument to make sure it didn't look precancerous which was a level of care and attention I did not expect but definitely appreciated. My immediate results from this filler is impressive - my jawline is snatched!
I have done skin treatments and fillers in well regarded clinics within the US (New York City), Bali and Istanbul before this but I have had the best experience and results by far with Dermaestetic, not to mention the great value for this level of expertise and skill. I am so happy I found this clinic, and I expect to maintain a long term relationship with the Doctors here for anti- aging treatments.
